You can also use something like VMD where you load the trajectory then 
select your atoms, then increment the frames and extract the xyz coordinates
of each of your atoms in the selection. You can do that in 5 lines of TCL
script (just don't update the select within selection after each frame or
else it will reselect a new set of molecules based on the distance criteria,
if you're trying to track the same water molecules from beginning to end).
